Who Am I Fooling?

Who Am I Fooling?
Can't count on things to flourish in this world of insanity
I've got some Lucky Pants now and a penchant for profanity
You'll all do fine without me there's a silence I can't break through
my luck is stolen property I'm temporarily enjoying the view
(chorus)
Who am I fooling? To believe it would work out
the simple life is a lonely road paved by hope and doubt
A parade of best friends around me while I'm left alone to die
It's just another memory I don't want to make and another tear I don't care to cry
Keep saying things I don't want to hear
and you won’t ever come my way
and you won't drink my case of the blues
because the label bears your name
(Chorus)
Future's up in the air at least it ain't in the ground
even if it's just me
a loner can't be let down
A parade of best friends around me while I'm left alone to die
It's just another memory I don't want to make and another tear I don't care to cry
(Chorus)

I Sang Alone

I Sang Alone
I sang alone
You were gone
Never to stray.
You're on your way
To greet the day
I'm on my own.
(Chorus)
Last time I loved you we said
You had the right to stay
the right to stay the right to go
Don't leave our path this way
with no certainty of knowing
I don't need to doubt
I need to know
I need to know.
So you know
the love you show
Fills up my life.
On my own
I set a tone
I see the light.
(Chorus)

Love Won't Fade
04:34
|

Love Won't Fade
When the storm winds blow
And there’s no answer waiting
When you or I are gone
This love will never be fading
Looking out a window
Over neglected oceans
Remembering how we fell there
In the sands of new emotion
(Chorus)
Love won’t fade
It's the charade
If we use our hearts
We’ll have it made
Change ain’t strange
Our mountain range
Is in our hearts
And nothing will be torn apart
Touring out to Nashville
North from the Mississippi
Playing unknown classics
For the big shots and the hippies
They can’t tell us
We don’t know what we’re doing
We’ll touch the right people
It won’t be us they’re screwing
(Chorus)
Standing in shadows
Nobody set on us
Time to shine
Beyond these days
as we must
The sands blow around
Castles made of promise
We leave them standing
Through the years of dramas
Eventually the strong
Will not be torn apart
Like a castle in the sand
It takes an open heart
(Chorus)

Sad Man In The Corner

Sad Man In The Corner
I wish they knew my story
But there's silence in the dark
I have hard luck in my bones
And sad songs can hit their mark
These days you'll find me hiding
No tears are shed to dry
I'm the sad man in the corner
And a good song makes me cry
My friends have all left me
Things I did or said
Family is long gone
Job left me for dead
The circus here around me
Is a world living a lie
If you want any reaction
A good song makes me cry
The superstars come and go
With the money egos thrive
And the memories they conjure
Of me sitting in these dives
Tolerating shoe gazers
Who hide while truth sits by
I listen between the cracks

Sonny Boy Williamson Blues
Well you know baby I'm so tired
So tired of rotting all alone
Well baby I'm so tired
I'm tired of rotting all alone
I'm gonna live til I die baby
I'm gonna go somewhere I belong
I'm gonna live til I die
I'm gonna live til I die
I'm gonna live til I die
I'm gonna live til I die babe
I'm gonna live til I die
I'm so tired of being alone.
Nobody really know me
Nobody care if I come or go
Nobody really know me
Nobody care if I come or go
Well you know they're always kidding to me
and they don't say nothing to me no more
Well it seems that I go out there
and I'm always on the limb
But I know I'm gonna find my way
someday I'll be born again
I'm gonna find my way
Gonna find my way to my home
No more rotting sitting here crying
because nobody cares if I come or go.
Well my mama's the only one
Who seems to give a damn
she don't lock me out of the house
when I don't have too far to land
I know I'm gonna come
I know I'll come back her someday
Just to see my mother
yeah and then I'll be back on my merry way.

I'm Getting Calls
You got me running baby all over town
Cause you don't tell me a thing that's going down
You don't care
you got me by the balls
I'm gonna let you cool down
Tired of making all the calls.
Some say girls like to be chased
ain't no way to treat some man who you've given the taste
well I know baby I that you
you got me by the balls
Some men love it but I ain't gonna be around when you call.
You don't care
I can tell by the way you do it
Feel free to let me if I'm just another man that done blew it
Well you know honey
I got less women than I got balls
If you don't want me
Tell me baby I'm getting calls.
If you don't want me baby
please tell me I'm getting calls
Tell me baby

Well tell me now baby

Made Up Blues
I got a home I ain't gonna roam
ain't gonna be roaming no more everyday
Well I got a place

Chickens Of Love
Chickens of love
yeah
those chickens of love
out with the black crow
in with the dove
because I just want to lay here
with the chickens of love
They walk so funny
they make such sound
yeah you never know baby
why they always around
These chickens of love
yeah these chickens of love
out with the ravens
in with the dove with the chickens of love
Chickens always make me smile
make me laugh half the while
well every time I see one walk by
laugh so hard that I think I might die
yeah well I always like them
living it up
yeah they make me want to spill a bit more
seeds from the cup
yeah because they're the chickens of love
chickens of love
out with the raven
and in with the dove
with the chickens of love.

Between Desire and Despair
Roland paid his dues until there were no dues left to pay
He played a game as a bartender and he found himself a place to stay
his old man always shot him down
and his mother never stuck around
he knew he had a heart somewhere below the ground
He trashed his room one night hard luck with a girl that shook him cold
he passed a police barricade driving without a license in a car he stole
he didn't expect he'd live to find a better road than the one he'd blown down
he was dreaming of a heart somewhere below the ground
(Chorus)
Somewhere below the ground he dreamed was a heart to make him care
where he'd forget the pieces and the shattered dream laid bare
and see beyond the guessing game of a life beyond repair
and make sense of all this loneliness between desire and despair
Roland gave up on dreaming and was sent to serve his time
how can you mend a fractured soul with survival on your mind?
he'd got out and he gave up on welfare on the slums
he didn't care if tomorrow morning comes
So many miles from forgiveness so many miles from a dream
His laughter only comes from him when he's witnessed the obscene
there's no better time than bottom to turn a life around
when you can't even dream of a heart below the ground.
Chorus

Your Happiness Will Bring Me Tears
I taught you a lesson now you're all married
while I yearn for some grace in this disgrace
you have good karma I'm bound to be lonely
I miss you but why my love has no trace
so why am I sad to see you rub it in
you found love I'm still out here treading
I think it's a secret you've kept all these years
Your sorrow won't work on me
here's hoping happiness will bring me tears
As I wait here for another loose end to be tied
while another heart breaks at the end of a ride
you're the catch of the batch my hindsight so cursed
I've made a few million but I'm losing my shirt
so you're the winner now since we said so long
to agree with you then we'd both be wrong
the secret you kept all of these years
your sorrow don't work on me
here's hoping your happiness will bring me tears
(Bridge)
You looked like the answer to my prayers
But still I paid for my never ending round trip affairs

My Heart's A Border Collie
My heart's a Border Collie
Stranded in your cage
suspended in skies in limbo
beyond your fields of sage
you want me to be playful
obedient and kind
my heart's a Border Collie
too wound up to unwind
Let me run in your sage field
chase your frisbees in the sun
run your squirrels up trees
then I'll be some fun
right now I'm just stranded
Maybe someone will set me free
If someone wants a Collie
I'm good company
My heart's A Border Collie
stranded in your cafe
suspended in skies in limbo
beyond your fields of sage
you want me to be playful
obedient and kind
my heart's a Border Collie
too wound up to unwind
I wonder where life's going
up in this cage I'll stay
The lesson seems so simple
try to find a way
my desire's the enemy
seems this bad dog wants it all
but my heart's a Border Collie
I'll be there if you call
my heart's a Border Collie
my heart's a Border Collie
my heart's a Border Collie
my heart's a Border Collie
my heart's a Border Collie
my heart's a Border Collie
